You Didn't Build a Practice. You Built a Prison

If your practice depends on you for every single thing, that’s not freedom. That’s just a prettier version of burnout.

Dr. Z and Dr. Garvey, DC, FMACP unpack one of the most uncomfortable truths in functional medicine: too many practitioners didn’t build a business… they built a trap. One where the doctor is the scheduler, salesperson, clinician, customer support rep, emotional support human, and garbage taker-outer. This episode breaks down why FM 1.0 glorified martyrdom, why that model collapses, and what FM 2.0 does differently.

Inside the episode:
✨ Why “white glove service” without systems becomes white-knuckle burnout
✨ The hidden danger of being the entire business instead of the CEO of it
✨ Why low-ticket, high-volume models can quietly become an operational nightmare
✨ How health coach support and systems can remove massive clinical workload
✨ The FM 2.0 shift: build a practice that survives when you rest

If you’re quietly thinking, “Yep… this old model is breaking me,” you’re not alone.

FM2 is where clinicians go when they’re done pretending the current system is fine.

Private community. Real implementation. Zero performative BS.
